Now the former Chairman Mike Symk, before the March primary election an appointed Precinct Committeeman in Marengo Township, now the elected Committeeman in Riley Township, has written a letter to McCleary with copies to fellow Committeemen in the NorWest Townships Republican Central Committee.

Little Townships’ GOP Fight Sputters On — 7 Comments

Michael Symk And other choose not to attend the meeting to pick new board for the NorWest group.

That was there right not to attend.

Unlawful and forceful means?

Every thing has been legit, The State Republican Party and there Lawyers Said we followed the proper way to do things.

No one forced him to stay home.

In 2 years that Mr Symk was in charge they never pass any bylaws for the group, Less that 3 months the bylaws are in the final stages of being complete and have been reviewed by the group of NorWest committeemen.

If Symk version of the bylaws were so great why didn’t he ever get them voted on in the 24 months he was in charge?

I feel this is no more than sour grapes from Michael Symk.

If he doesn’t want to represent Riley Township in the NorWest group Then step down and we will find some one that will.

It is time to move on.

If he wants to be in charge then in less than 2 years he SHOULD attend the meeting put his name on the ballet and see if he gets enough votes to take over. Have a nice day!! 🙂

Thanks to the leadership of Mike McCleary and Sandra Salgado, we were able to form the Norwest Township.

Finally, the ‘under 10’ townships have a seat at the table with the rest of the McHenry County townships.

Both Mike McCleary and Sandra Salgado spoke with and gained guidance from the Illinois GOP legal staff before our election was held.

The election of the Norwest officers was also acknowledged by former McHenry County GOP Chairman, Mike Tryon as being a legal election.

The splinter group of Smyk, Gummerson, Lockhart and Klasen have been informed as such.

They are continuing to try and provide a distraction from our candidates and their elections.

They are continuing to try and initiate a divide within the McHenry County Republican Party.

Smyk has used intimidation tactics himself, by sending out emails saying our election is not legal, trying to dissuade precinct committeeman from attending our special meeting when our election was held.

This sour grapes over accusations that our election wasn’t legal and that he wasn’t able to join the by-laws committee is juvenile.

Where is your proof that our election was not legal?

Mark is right, in two years, Smyk, you can run for Chairman of the Norwest or the McHenry County Republican party for that matter.

Right now we need to be working on getting Steve Reick elected along with our other fellow Republicans.
